You must know that Chelsea Merrihew is running for Essex County clerk as the Election Day is coming nearer. I wish to give you a closer look at Chelsea and why she is the best choice that makes sense for Essex County.

As North Elba town clerk, I have relied on the county clerk for many years. Due to Joe Provoncha’s health, Chelsea stepped forward as county clerk and continues her duties as deputy clerk. Chelsea has demonstrated a deep understanding of the responsibilities of the clerk’s office and is committed to serving others. She has researched information for me and many other town clerks through the county on multiple occasions. I am so grateful she is only a phone call away. I am supporting Chelsea Merrihew for Essex County clerk, and I ask you to do the same.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7 at the Shipman Youth Center in Lake Placid from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Visit the Board of Elections website for early voting.)
